Northwesteru Roads.

NEW YORK, May 8.-The northwestern
roads are exercised over the discovery
that freight is going from Buffalo by way
of Lake Superior steamers and the St.
Paul and Duluth road into Minneapolis at
the same rates charged from Chicago to
st. Paul, the cut being practically the
whole rate from the seaboard to Chicago.
Efforts to patch up quasi transcontl-
mental pool failed again. Both the Pacific
Mail and Canada Southern agreed, pro
yided the differentials were satisfactory,
but the Atchison declined to concede any
diferentials. The Denver and Rio Grande
demanded special rates on account of be-
ing narrow gauge road, so the whole
thing was given up. The association is
to reorganize, as the statistical bureau
committee is preparing a tariff.

The Divorce Habit.
PhiIadelnhia News.

There has been startling increase o.
late in the number of divorces and seps-
rations in fashionable society. This is
not the case in any particular part of the
country, but in ali large cities. It has
awakened the ansthemas Of the pulpit,
has broken up scores of once happy homes
and has made brisk business for dozers
of lawyers.
What causes these separations? Not
one thing, but several. The Introduction
of Partisan style of life in the most
fashionable circles has much to do with
it. So has marrying for money or for
family name. The outrageous extrava-
gsnce of living, which seems as necessary
as life itself in the "most exclusive" CIR
cIes, is also responsible for many domes-
tic ruptures, which are gossiped about 6y
society, and are spread broadcast through
the land through the papers.
These separations are great and grow.
ing.evils. 1t is hard to propose a remedY
for them. There is one thing, however,
which would surely, if slowly, tend %
lessen their number, and that is the edu
cation of public sentiment which would
condemn them as disgracefuI to all psr
ties concerned.

Colorado Awake

Colorado also will probably soon be
called upon to put up bonus for another
railroad, and why would it not be good
idea for US to give our bonus in this way?
If the Santa Fe wishes to extend to here
from either Ballinger or Coleman, let
Colorado give her bonus in grading,
making our city the beginning, and give
our business men at once the benefit
of a new railroad-largely increased
business in furnishing supplies
and the town itself the appearance OF
doing something for herself and at the
time offering inducements TO the railroad.
The trade derived from the labor required
to build five or ten miles of railroad
would be no small matter, and would be
quite an accession to the town. There is
food for thought in this matter, and we
hope our railroad committee will give 1t
consideration.-TCo Colorado Clipper.

THE MEMPHIS, ARKANSAS AND TEXAS
RAILROAD MOVING.
"The people of Texas" says the Mem
phis Appeal of the Sd inst, "are very i'm
patient for the construction of the Mem
phis, Arkansas and Texas Railroad.
1t has been so much discussed
the past twenty years, has been
so thoroughly exploited, that
they are fully apprised of all its possible
and probable benefits, and want to know
when work will be begun. Well, we
are able to assure them that a
we'll equipped surveying party will
be put in the field by Monday of
next week, and that the work of
locating the line will be pushed with all
possible expedition. That done, rights
OF way and donations of land will be Sc
cured, and then the work of construction
be initiated. The men engaged in this
enterprise are some of them practical
railroad builders, and they are alive to the
necessity for saving time by forging
ahead so as to get earnings and begin
to pay dividends. They know the vaIue
of the enterprise, have plenty of money
behind them, and mean to build
Texas can rest satisfied. Meantime,
they can arrange to secure the
location of the road and donations of
lands and rights OF way, and make the
work of the surveyors and the agents
of the company is easy as possible.
That is all that can be done presently.
Everything and everybody must wait on
the survey and location of the road"

Ronhann Alert.

The Frisco will, of necessity, be COM
PEELED to 60 to Fort Worth in order to get
its great outlet,as well as to compete sue
cessfully with other roads. Bonham and
Mckinney are directly on the line where
the road should go, and if the advantages
in the way of trade and transportation of
these two places were fully set forth and
made known to the company. it would
require no other evidence to convince
them that it would be largely to their
interest to go to work at once
and secure to themselves the advantages
to be derived from an early occupancy of
this territory. ALI the way from Arthur
CITY to Fort Worth, on this line, the road
would pass through the most fertile and
productive country in the south; in fact

The recent news that the Santa Fe
Railroad Company had purchased the
Gulf and Colorado, with all its ramifca-
tons through the state of Texas, and
also that they were rapidly pushing their
extension from Arkansas City through
the Territory to connectlon
with the aforesaid road, does not
seem to carry with it the Importance and
weight it should do, with the people OF
Kansas; for with the completion of this
great system, the entire state OF Kansas
and it is almost one vast granary, out
stripping every state in the Union IN
grain, cattle, and products-Will be as near
Liverpool, which is the grain center of the
world, as Ohio or Michigan. This means
from % to 50 cents for each bushel OF
wheat, from Is to 20 cents for each bushel
of corn, from IS to SO for each steer,
more than present prices on these artl-
cles, besides vast reductions on sugars,
coffees, and necessaries OF life, and Will
open the eyes of the world TO the lmpor-
tant position which Kansas holds to the
commercial traffic of the United States.
The agency which is bringing about
these changes is the railroad company
which has done more for the upbuIlGing
of Kansas than any other corporate body
or agency-the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad. Through them Kan
sas has found it possible to compete with
our more favored eastern neighbors, and
st the same time has taken on healthy

what Are shooJxs9

And what are shocks? Up the Kennebec.
Penopscot and other Maine rivers, among
the lprimeval pines, there are still firms which
oil the year through make hogsheads for the
Cuban sugar and molasses trade. These are
fitted together and then "shook down. and
put in snug bundles, easily stored and trans
ported. The commercial name for these hogs
heads all ready to be knocked together again
is @shooks," and in years past one Of the chief
articles of export from the quaint city of
Portland was ashooks." The general term
also applies to the material already sawed
fitted and bundled together for heavy oblong
boxes for similar use in the sugar trade, and
It is q fact for the gravest concern that, while
few years since the entire expectation of
Cuban sugar was made in these hogsheads
and boxes of American manufacture, a sad
loss to that profitable industry has come
through the successful efforts of canny English
manufacturers to supplant them by the in
PRODUCTION OF cheap cotton bags Hence has
followed a double loss to American interests
Nutnberless vessels which formerly carried
American made shocks to Cuba and re-
chartered to American ports with oargoes of
sugar and molasses are driven from the seas
by cheap British bags, and as sugar SO ex-
ported is at risk in sailing vessels,
the cheap British 'strampp steamers,
flying the Spanish flag, are gradually secul-
ing all sugar charters from Cuba, even to
American consignments, while our own YES
sells are rotting in our own ports or eating
themselves and their owners up in foreign
harbors. Portland Letter. @
